Falling Off The Blog Wagon

I had been doing soooo good!!! Time gets away from me.. Too much goes on.. And the next thing I know.. POOF!! It's been a month since my last post.. It seems like it should be so easy for somebody that likes to write.. Just sit down and spit out a few paragraphs. But 9 times out of 10.. Jazzie or Austin have my laptop to do homework.. Nic is on it to watch youtube videos about Minecraft.. Or Sebastian and Xander have snatched it up to play on pbskids website. And I'm generally just far too lazy to try and do it from my phone.. Even tho they have a handy little app for that.

So a quick update over the last month.. Jazzie tried out and made the Varsity Competitive Cheer team at her school.. They will travel for a couple weekends in February for their competitions.. She is growing up way too fast!! Austin got a little corn snake for his birthday.. I am amazed at how fast that little thing is growing!! Nic isn't up to much of anything new except basketball season started for him and Austin.. Sebastian is going to school and becoming quite the smart little man.. And Xander.. Well, Xander is still the spawn of Satan!!

I am finally back to work after a 2 month hiatus.. Apparently, I have the back of an 80 year old.. I need surgery but it is a 3-6 month recovery.. And well, frankly, Ain't nobody got time for that!! I will eventually have to break down and get the surgery, since the doc tells me I am "Clinically disabled".. But it will have to take me being down, and literally can't get back up!!! Maybe I should get me one of those little things to wear around my neck, so I can yell "I've fallen, and I can't get up!" So not funny, I know.

I am enjoying life for the most part.. Being a single mom to 5 definitely has it's days.. The other morning, when nobody was doing what they were supposed to, I accidently blurted out "I want new kids!!!" I really didn't mean it.. I mean.. Unless you can really do that kind of thing.. Kind of like a car.. Just trade them in for something newer and cleaner??? I really do love them.. most days.. ;-)

We had pictures made this week for the first time in about 10 years.. And even then it was a chaotic trip of about 40 people to Olan Mills.. This was my first time actually going to a PRO-fess-ion-AL!! We have gotten one sneak peek picture, and I absolutely adore it! I'm anxiously awaiting the reveal for the rest of them!

Ok, time to get back to work!! Laters!
